STAR PLUS – the leading general Hindi entertainment channel showers the viewers with a lot of excitement this June as it gears up to show one of the biggest blockbusters of 2005, Bluffmaster, for the first time on small screen on Sun, June 18th, 12 p.m.

Bluffmaster is the story of Roy, a professional conman who is true about only one thing in life, his love for Simmi. But on finding out the truth about Roy’s profession she leaves him for ever. This leaves Roy completely devastated. To add to his problems he meets Dittu, an amateur conman who is desperately trying to be a conman. Roy takes up the task of teaching him how to be one. Suddenly, fate plays a very cruel trick on him and he is left with no alternative but to reveal his true self.

Said Ajay Vidyasar, Executive Vice President, Marketing & Communication, “The satellite premiere of Bluffmaster is yet another endeavour on our part to offer viewers the most compelling entertainment on television. And this is just a start. In the coming months STAR PLUS viewers can expect to watch the satellite premieres of some of the very biggest blockbusters of recent times”.

This Rohan Sippy film is an out an out entertainer which leaves the audience wanting for more. The movie pays endearing tribute to the city of Mumbai as well – with the entire movie being shot in the city. There is a scene in the film where Roy and Dittu attempt a con in the cinema hall Maratha Mandir, the movie playing is the, director Ramesh Sippy’s (director Rohan Sippy’s father) hit film Shaan. Also, the movie that is being played in the cinema hall has Abhishek Bachchan’s father Amitabh Bachchan playing one of the lead role. In another scene when Roy’s car is stolen by Dittu, Roy boards a taxi that has a number plate of MH-O1-9211, which is a reference to the other Ramesh Sippy Productions Movie under production at that time Taxi No. 9211

Said Rohan Sippy, “I am really happy that Bluffmaster is premiering on STAR PLUS Plus. There could not have been a better network for the film to premiere on. I am certain that, Bluffmaster will entertain many millions more on STAR PLUS in addition to all those audiences who made it a hit on its theatrical release.”

With an outstanding ensemble cast comprising of todays hottest and most sought after stars and a soundtrack featuring a dazzling array of international & local talent, director Rohan Sippy’s Bluffmaster is simply not worth missing.
